A Little About Me

My photo
Kristin
My name is Kristin. I'm an interior designer living in Chicago with my loving hubby and adorable pup, Lulu. We welcomed twins into our family in September '09... Henry & Amelia have made our family complete. I love gathering beautiful odds and ends to decorate our home and am also a budding yogi with a weakness for sweets. Baking and reading keep me busy, and I think there's no better way to spend my weekends than by exploring the Windy City or by kicking back with friends. This blog is a collection of the simple pleasures and little joys that I find lovely and inspiring. Thanks for visiting!
